We wanted to take a quick moment for all those affected by the bombings at the Boston Marathon yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people whose lives have been forever changed from this tragedy. The images from the incident are shocking and hard to process.

Watching the footage again this morning during the press conference I did still see the pain, and fear of those in this horrific incident. The thing I noticed this time were the people who ran towards the blasts to help others. People taking off their coats and shirts to bandage those who were hurt. A thank you to the brave souls who run towards danger to help those in need.

If you are looking for ways to help those who have been affected, here are some suggestions courtesy of Huffington Post:
